The next thing we will see is EMG crappies... if they have already jumped to the super-HMV external horn machines...

It sold today for an undisclosed "Best Offer Accepted". At least the charity which sold it has benefitted.

as it looks... only replacing the elbow for a better one and ensuring that the conduit underneath between the tonearm and the horn is good, the machine can have a very good performance...
although we all know the quality of these machines... it may need adjustments here and there, maybe a better motor...
